Superselective Prostate Artery Embolization for Treatment of Severe Haematuria Secondary to Rapid Progression of Treatment-Induced Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer: A Case Report.

Abstract

Treatment-induced neuroendocrine prostate cancer (t-NEPC) represents a highly aggressive subtype of castration-resistant prostate cancer that commonly arises from prostate adenocarcinoma (AdPC) after continuous androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, current treatments for t-NEPC are limited and far from satisfactory. According to our limited knowledge, report regarding the management of t-NEPC related hemorrhage is rare. Here, we report a case of t-NEPC formation after chronic hormonal therapy accompanying with severe bleeding in primary tumor and share our experiences to deal with the severe hematuria resulting from the progression of t-NEPC tumor.
